Pterodactyl was a real animal. It was a type of flying reptile, but it was neither a dinosaur nor a bird.

It was definitely a reptile.

The one main distinguishing feature than separates birds from other animals are feathers. Only birds and some other dinosaurs have them. Feet, beaks and hollow bones are features found in many other animals.So although the pterodactyl flew, it did so with skin membranes very much like a bat. It was a flying reptile, not a bird.

It is neither. A pterodactyl looked like a bird, and was related to dinosaurs, but was neither bird or dinosaur.
